1/2 inch Dot Grid Paper — Letter
Choose half-inch spacing when you want light guidance without a busy page. The 12.7 mm gaps give about two dots per inch, leaving generous room for large handwriting, quick wireframe boxes, mind maps, or kids practicing letters. Because the dots sit far apart, finished notes look clean and uncluttered. Designers also use this coarse grid for rough layout thumbnails where exact alignment matters less than overall proportion.
